第二节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

I read about an athlete who made it all the way to the Olympics despite hating his chosen sport. He committed his entire life to 36 one tiny, yet large, sentence—I’m proud of you. At some point we all have someone we want to 37 , whose approval means the world to us.

I have a clear memory of the person I wanted approval from telling me I was intelligent, the kind of memory that stays very clear because you’ve recalled it so many times. I had 38 someone’s opinion about buying a Canadian soda. “We should really support our own economy,” ten-year-old me said. I had no idea what that meant, 39 I was looked at with approval, and my heart was filled with

40 . I loved that feeling—the approval of my hero. It was nothing like the Olympic athlete, but I made some very big 41 based on what might make them 42 . I was hugely affected by wanting their approval.

Months ago this person removed me from his life. It hurt a lot. However,

in life there is rarely hurt

43 growth. I recently 44 on myself and my behavior and noticed something—I feel free. After a period of denying and upset, I 45 that this is just how it is. This realization made me see how often I was transforming myself according to the 46 , “what would they think?” I’d been using the desire for approval as an 47 excuse for hiding. My excuse was gone immediately I realized it

48 . It was time to 49 step into myself and stop hiding who I am from others. Are you hiding? I hid in approval-seeking. Maybe you hide behind judgment. We all have our ways, and it can be really scary to let 50 go.

The thing is, 51 , as long as we prevent ourselves being truly seen, we will never be truly understood. Connection with others won’t be wholly authentic, and we will edit ourselves because we

52 potential thoughts in other people’s heads. It’s pretty 53 . Of course, breaking up isn’t 54 when you expect to be freed from wanting someone’s approval. You don’t even have to tell them you no longer care what they think of you. Just 55 and do what makes you happy and go for the things you really want in life. Do your thing, and let them do theirs.

Chinese passport opens more doors in 2014

In 2014, many countries adjusted their visa application process for Chinese people. Here we take a look at the countries that have made outbound traveling easier to Chinese passport holders.

Up to 10-year US visa for Chinese tourists and businessmen

The United States is serious about welcoming Chinese visitors and the economic opportunities they bring. During last month’s Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting held in Beijing, President Barack Obama announced that China and the United States have reached an agreement on a reciprocal 10-year visa that allows multiple entries for tourists and businessmen.

China has a tremendous outbound travel market, accounting for 20 percent of the growth in overseas visits to the United States since 2008. Chinese travelers consistently rank the US as their top travel destination, but only slightly more than 1.8 percent of total outbound travelers have been to the US, according to the White House.

Germany speeds up visa process for Chinese passport

During Premier Li Keqiang’s state visit to Germany in October, the two countries agreed to try to shorten the visa process to 48 hours. Germany will also issue more long-term multiple-entry visas in the future.

Canada upgrades single-entry visas to multi-entry

6

The Canada Tourism Bureau began upgrading more single-entry visas to multi-entry ones earlier this year, hoping to attract more Chinese visitors. “The multi-entry visa will allow eligible visitors to stay in Canada for as long as six months per trip, and visa validity has been extended to a

10-year-maximum,” according to a bureau spokesperson.

Thailand waived visa fees for Chinese tourists for three months Thailand waived visa fees for tourists from the Chinese mainland and Taiwan from August to October of 2014.

Japan further extends multiple-entry visas to Chinese tourists

Japan recently announced that it would further relax its policy to issue multiple-entry visas to Chinese tourists.

The multiple-entry visa to Chinese tourists was initiated in 2011 to help boost the economy of the areas affected by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The visa required tourists to stay at least overnight in Fukushima, Iwate or Miyagi. The tourists will be free to stay anywhere in Japan from their second visit onward.

The new visa policy is considering issuing multiple-entry visa to individuals with strong purchasing power, with no attached condition to visit the three places.

Morocco looks to offer individual visas to Chinese tourists

From March 6 this year, Chinese service passport holders have not needed a visa to enter Morocco, a first step in making entry to the country easier.

The country also looks to attract more tourists from China, and plans granting individual visas to Chinese tourists, said Salaheddine Mezouar, Foreign Affairs Minister of Morocco. Currently, Chinese tourists must come in groups to apply for Moroccan tourism visa.

56. Which of the following countries has improved efficiency of application process?

A. Germany.

B. Japan.

C. Canada.

D. Morocco.
